Works with 6/700 too! - after alias

Recommended Posts

So far all seems OK with the 6/700 series. I'm just starting to get the feel with this amazing new program but it appears that if you Alias the 800 panel to your 6/700 PMDG aircraft everything is fine. . . so far. Maybe there is a pitfall to this procedure ahead but so far so good.Take care - Terry

Hi guys,All I did was alias the 800 panel to the 700 panel.The entry in the 700 panel.cfg is this:[fltsim]alias=PMDG737-800panelSo far I haven't had a problem. But then again I'm not fully aware of what the cross over might do.All that I notice is the different air conditioning arrangement.-Terry

There shouldn't be any cross-over problems.I don't see why there would be.The only thing is you're going to loose the 600/700's slightly different pneaumatic panel and have the 800/900 version instead, but the differences between the two pneuamatic panels are very small that most won't even notice the difference.This is good news for people who like using 600/700 models.Bryan

Thanks Bryan for the confirmation. All seemed OK but wasn't sure. I can certainly live with the updated AC panel.Of course I also added the alias for the 600 too. You need to do both the Panel and the Panel.VC. for both 6/700 aircraft.Take care,Terry

Update your 600/700 series with PMDGs 800/900 model update patch for the 600/700. Failure to do so shall result in a trashed 2D cockpit!!I know, I did that and had it not been for my magnificent Ghost backup program, I could have spent several hours trying to reverse the damage. Lesson learned. So far so good. I have not completed a FS2Crew flight with a 600/700, but as my plane is parked at KMCO and I must get to KJFK for PSS's new Concorde release and prepare for a "yesteryear" flight across the pond, I shall give it a whirl and report back any problems to you all!!Randy Jura, KPDX
